Technical details

Product data is extracted primarily from JSON-LD @graph arrays embedded in Gigantti's pages (standard across the Elkjop platform). Falls back to HTML meta tags when JSON-LD is missing. Ratings on a scale other than 1-5 are automatically normalized.

Product URLs on Gigantti contain /product/, /tuote/, or /p/ path segments.

Cost

HTTP scraper, around $0.25 per 1,000 products.

Limitations

• Finnish-language site. Product names, categories, and descriptions are in Finnish.
• Pagination is attempted via ?page=N incrementing. Some category layouts may not paginate correctly.

How to scrape Gigantti data

This Actor automates the process of extracting structured product data from Gigantti. You can run it directly from the Apify console, the Apify API, or any of the official SDKs (JavaScript, Python). The scraper handles pagination, retries, and rate limiting so you can focus on the data, not the plumbing.

Typical workflows:

• One-off export: paste a category URL or keyword, set maxResults, and run
• Scheduled monitoring: set a daily cron in the Schedule tab to track prices over time
• Programmatic integration: trigger runs from your backend via the Apify API and pull the dataset when finished
• Webhook automation: receive a callback the moment a run completes and pipe the results into Zapier, Make, n8n, BigQuery, or Google Sheets

Tips for best results

• Start small — run with maxResults: 10 before launching large jobs
• Use proxies — residential proxies reduce blocking on protected sites
• Throttle on big jobs — keep maxConcurrency modest (5–10) for stability
• Schedule runs — daily runs are usually enough for price monitoring
• Inspect the dataset schema — the Storage tab shows the full output structure

FAQ and support

Is it legal to scrape Gigantti? This Actor extracts publicly available data. Always review the website's Terms of Service before scraping at scale, and respect rate limits.

Why am I getting fewer results than expected? Some categories have hidden pagination or load more on scroll. Increase maxResults and verify your filters.

Can I extract data for a single product? Yes — provide the full product URL in startUrls and the scraper will return one item.

The site blocks me — what should I do? Enable Apify residential proxies in the input. Datacenter IPs are blocked by many e-commerce sites.
